Foreign language instruction should begin in kindergarten

Seeing the problems – avoid language that is too simple

In general, I am a fan of the simple. There are times, however, when you want to upgrade your English, in particular

• 
  avoiding words like “big” that are not normally used in more formal written English
  
• 
  avoiding words like “do” unless they are part of a set phrase – there is almost always a better variation
  
• 
  finding variations for words such as “very” to show your range
  
• 
  thinking about collocations (phrases)
